John in KC - Roadster Build Thread

Sigh, I guess I"ll add that to my list too.
I was trying to be stubborn and use the FF supplied Wilwood master cylinders, but I think I'll just do it all now and avoid the later inevitable headache for being stubborn.
It just kind of galls me to have to replace new parts, wouldn't be much of an issue if they were more accessible.

I wouldn’t say failure of the Wilwoods MCs is inevitable. I think there’s a much higher chance that they will be perfectly fine for the life of the car than failing…but the complete headache that it would be to replace once the body is on led me to go with a brand that I think is slightly better. I probably wouldn’t have swapped them out in the first place if I didn’t need to change the MC sizing for my brakes to work properly. One of my brand new Tiltons could also fail. There’s no certainty either way.

The list of parts I kept adding to my build did get much longer than I anticipated, as well. But it really is better to build it the way you want and with quality parts from the beginning than wish you had later on.
